In the full week after Detroit became the largest American city to file for bankruptcy, a rash of development news belied the city's fiscal woes. From a proposed soccer stadium, to a Meijer store opening on 8 Mile road, to a hockey arena that is in the works, there are still millions of dollars being invested in the city, regardless of what a bankruptcy judge decides to do with its $18 billion debt.

Here are some of the highlights from this week.

The owners of downtown Detroit's Penobscot Building and three structures adjacent to it, as well as the Pontiac Silverdome, have submitted a proposal to Wayne County for a $1 billion development that would include condos, retail and a Major League Soccer arena at the site of a failed county jail project. The Wayne County jail project has suffered from major budget problems on its downtown construction, as projected costs have ballooned to about $65 to $100 million over budget, and a partially finished building stands idle.
